Osyadha Ramadhana, also known as Ocak, was born in 1997 in Malang, Indonesia. She graduated with a degree in Fine Arts from Universitas Brawijaya in 2021 and currently lives and works in East Java.
Her practice integrates traditional batik-making into contemporary visual art, using textile-based media to revisit collective childhood narratives. Much of her work is inspired by the folktale of Sang Kancil, which she reinterprets as a symbolic figure of wit and resilience.
In 2014, she participated in the group exhibition My Culture on Cotton – The Contemporary Art of Batik at Redbase Foundation, Indonesia.
Her works have also been featured in group exhibitions at Art Jakarta (with Studio Dinding Luar), Taman Budaya Yogyakarta, Mini Art Malang, and Russ Gallery Bali. In 2022, she held her first solo exhibition Self Matter at Galeri Raos, Batu.
We pay our respects to the Gundungurra people who are the traditional custodians of the land. We acknowledge Elders past, present and emerging for their immense spiritual connection to place which was never ceded.
